History Discussion
Communism vs. Democracy shaped global international relations from the late 1940s until the 1990s.
Part A: Read through of the conflicts that occurred during this era and give a brief overview of the conflict.
Part B: Watch the corresponding documentary to your choice (located on the Web Links tab). (For example, if you chose to give an overview of the division of Europe under Communism, then watch Declassified: Rise and Fall of the Berlin Wall.)
Part C: Discuss your impressions and opinions of the documentary. In what ways did the conflict exemplify Cold War relations and policies between countries?
